^I agree with alot of what you're saying. If the system expands it's natural that the fares would increase. Zoning's okay if you live and work within the same fare zone but outside of that, and this applies to the majority of the 416 and GTA, it's a very precarious complication to most commuters. To get from Union to north of Finch under zoning rules one $2.75 fare becomes $4+. How does this benefit anyone?
GO and the TTC need to allow free interchange with transfers at all inner-416 stops, likewise GO and VIVA in York, GO and MT/BT Peel and GO and DRT in Durham. Integration should start on the local scale before region wide amalgamation.
That's a great idea, NYC probably wouldn't have such a large system without PPP. For Toronto I could see several companies helping to finance extensions to various corporate centres around the city: the Don Mills-Eglinton area, Airport Corporate Centre, Sherway Gardens even Sheppard-Markham. The best thing about private funding is that since funding isn't being delegated to several different projects at once, more care will be taken into station design, proximity, etc.

In addition, it would allow for the ability to do PPP (public private partnerships) on future subway construction.
